Goods never received after paying for next day delivery, no maned phone line, no reply to emails! Ordered goods for my sons birthday and paid extra for next day delivery, still nothing received, not dispatch tracking as stated, no reply to emails, phone line not manned and doesn't allow for a message! Terrible service for an online company, do not trust I will be claiming my refund through Paypal.

I've bought two cars from Nitrotek, and now need some spare parts - I placed an order over five weeks ago, with payment taken immediately. I've chased three times via email to their support desk as there's no other way of contacting them whilst they work from home, but have received no response. One of the cars cannot be used until the parts arrive. Customer service needs to improve greatly if you want repeat custom.

Do not buy from these pathetic excuses of human beings! They tried stealing my 8 year old boys Christmas money! They sold us faulty batteries for his RC car, they then made us pay for the return postage costs but then they wouldn't refund us! They try every trick in the book not to refund you and it's only because I paid through Klarna that I was successful in getting our money back. It takes days to get a response from them but each time you do get a reply they will not refund you even though they have received the goods. This dragged on for months and my little boy was so upset but these horrible scamming people do not care! The only reason that these lying scum bags have any positive reviews on Google is that everytime you purchase something from them they bribe you with a £5 voucher to leave them a 5 star review! If you want an honest opinion of their company just read the hundreds of negative reviews and it says it all. DO NOT BUY FROM THESE CON ARTISTS YOU WILL HONESTLY REGRET IT!

Would someone please get back to me, I have messaged through messenger, I have posted in Facebook. I have sent 3 emails through your ticket system and still no one reply, I brought this order 1 week ago and it is broken. And you didn't send it next day like advertised The transmitter doesn't connect, and the spur gear is shredded through no fault of my own,
I feel the items you are selling are very cheap and the parts are near on I possible to get hold of, I shouldn't be having this much trouble after a week,
